Last visited in November, a total of thirty times prior including a yearly tradition, it was alongside seven others on Saturday night that Jean Georges Steakhouse once again found the kitchen executing at an unmatched level.
Toqued by Chef Sean Griffin since 2015, including a renovation that upgraded decor and serviceware for pristine Proteins and Produce, guests entering Jean Georges Steakhouse are greeted first at a podium before being led to spot-lit tables, the mood upscale but never stuffy while prices track similar to other like-Restaurants that feature far less impressive Ingredients.
Decorated in gold, and buzzing with activity, it was at the Chef’s Table that carte blanche was deferred to the kitchen, Beverages quickly followed by buttery Loaves of Brioche and familiar appetizers such as truffled Wagyu Carpaccio atop Pate a Choux plus “Crispy Sushi” and signature Egg Toast.
Throwing Chef Griffin a curve-ball this time, two guests Pescatarian and one Vegan, off-menu Specials came first in the form of Morels stuffed with Peas and fermented Peppers followed by Avocado “Sushi” and three dishes showcasing early-season organic Asparagus.
Always inventive, Foie Gras with Harry’s Berries and textural elements absolutely stunning, Salads served as a segue to grilled Meats, the iconic Hearts of Palm and Tomatoes praised by all for its brightness while Frisee with Mangoes and Caesar lightened the load before NY Strip and Filet of F1 Wagyu cooked Medium Rare.
Not forgetting two more Steaks, domestic Prime Ribeye plus an 8oz Mishima Reserve Wagyu Rib Cap, the sides never fail to impress – nor does Vongerichten’s Sea Bass or Prawns on this night with Ramp Butter and Herbs.
Adding a few seasonal sides, spicy Spring Peas and foraged Mushrooms both upgrading their humble Ingredients, Vegan Morel Risotto and Morels with Ramps in three forms threatened to steal the spotlight from even the Steaks.
Rarely rethinking the sweet stuff Dessert again saw Creme Brulee with seasonal Sorbet plus old favorites down the line, Chef Vongerichten’s Chocolate Cake served with tableside theatrics and followed by Cheesecake plus an exceptional Strawberry Crostada.
